Default Want Decib. readings for stock, forge/miltek resonated, non resonated, and UUC>>

I've heard all the wav. files of them, but I want the decibel readings please!!! I cant seem to find them.

I'd like to get some Db readings of my exhaust and compare them.... that way I know which exhaust I want when I get my TT As long as its not louder than what i have now.

Another question for those who did the actual Db readings.... Where did you get your Db meter?? Or better yet, where could I get one?

thanks!

Default You can get a sound meter at Radio shack for ~$30. Let someone else do it. Save your $$ for your TT.

I highly doubt it will be louder than your Mustang.

Default do you have the actual values?

like 81.6db or 72.8 db...

like that

nice chart though!

I'll have to test mine and see. A question. I'm assuming the 3000rpm and the 5000rpm were just free reving in nuetral??

How did you get the 2000rpm under load. Just curious so I can repeat your test as close as possible. Did you guys do any from inside?

Default Yes they were free revving... also don't think about that they are exact

This ugly, but you can copy this to a text file then import into Excel with a space at the delimiter (I think).

OEM OEM No Resonator No Resonator Resonator Resonator UUC UUC

Default I found a Db test on a mustang...

only they tested totally different.

They had the meter right by the drivers left ear, drivers window down, pass window up.

Stock mustang
Idle 65Db
1500 68Db
3000 71Db

Mustang with bassani headers, X pipe with cats, mufflers and tailpipes, same as before, inside car, drivers window down, pass window up, mic by drivers left ear.

Idle 67Db
1500 70Db
3000 73Db

Then they tested the bassani exhausted mustang at steady cruise in OD (it was an auto) at 65mph inside the car with both windows up and got 89Db

Rowing through the gears from stop sign to stop sign in town, windows up, inside the car it averaged 76 Db

Havnt found anyother tests besides that one, so I guess I'll have to buy a Db meter or go bug my friends at the local stereo shop to test it.

Mine has the same headers and X pipe, but I have different, quieter mufflers with no tailpipes.

You guys should take a Db reading inside the car at a steady 65 in 5th gear
